Chapter 2
'Thanks for the information don't need no more anything' I entered the 'office', Andy was playing music again, not sure what it was though so I listened to it for a while longer 'we've been hung out to dry, you didn't want us anyway and now we're making up our minds, you tell us how to run our lives, we run from euthanasia' seemed to be Megadeth again, youthanasia. Ever since Rain died the 'office' had been playing Megadeth songs, mainly the big songs. Rain had been a big Megadeth and his last words, probably had something to do with the thrash metal band.
The 'office' was actually more of a small hangar, but we just liked the irony of calling it an office being a mercenary wasn't exactly a desk job was it. It was large about the width of two houses, the height of a double decker bus and the length of a tennis court, it was empty except for the weapon crates scattered here and there and the two beige fabric sofas and a wooden coffee table in the centre of it all, the music came from the old cd player sat on the table which was now currently playing the song Holy Wars... The Punishment Due, another song by Megadeth. The whole group slept here but their wasn't many of us, since Rain had died, meant that their was only five of us, we all worked together but each of us took little side missions for some extra cash, Rain was an excellent assassin so he worked with main command of the United American Civil Rights Force or UACRF for short, where as the rest of us just scouted out for various jobs from private companies, gangs and general public, we didn't care what kind of job it was because it would mainly be against the New World Order or as others would like to call it the Endgame.

The New World Order or Endgame was the force that now controlled parts of America, ruling by force and violence, we were promised a better America, but how's this is it? Apparently the concentration camps just popped up, yeah right. The president was made to sign a secret bill that can land a legal US citizen in jail and the New World Order made an act that stripped us Americans of our constitutional rights. The system has failed and even this isn't the brunt of it all, within striking distance sits a smouldering international caldron, the United Abomi-nations as it were, forged to prevent war as it grows in the face of disaster but stood silent while the New World Order took America hostage. A better, safer America? People shot on streets for reasons I'm not sure of, reminds me more of Nazi Germany than the United States of America. At least the New World Order only controls part of America, we never wanted to start a war but smart bombs and precision guided armaments seem to be a more sophisticated way to win the fight than a debate round the round table in a underground military base while nuclear warheads paint the sky and we die. It seems our only hope is the UACRF.

Now we all worked under UACRF but while Rain worked for UACRF itself, the rest of us worked for the Northern United American Civil Rights Force, NUACRF the smaller, more northerly focused UACRF. Now the upside of working for them is free supplies but the down side is that we can be called out at anytime, we're constantly working, someone has to be awake at all times just incase of an emergency. Our squadron was nick named the Dawn Patrol mainly because of Rain and him being our squadron 'leader' but the squadrons real name was the 88th battalion mercenaries and our motto was that we only moved forward, while every squad retreats we would carry on. It was a very demanding prospect but our team was able to fulfil it. I had become the squad leader, me? well im a lucario, who's name is Jun, specialises in long distance assassinations or simply a sniper. On the team we have Andy, human average height quite toned with wild long black hair, blue eyes and in short a stereotypical rocker who specialises in Computers, Hacking and anything to do with technology, then we have another human, her name being Roze she was a 'give me a big gun and I'll run in and kill em all' type, she had explosive knowledge but didn't really give much care about her life. She was also average height, slim, toned, had black hair with bleach blonde highlights, green eyes and a temper that was shorter than the cook time on a grenade. We also had a Gallade named Daniel, although he earned the name Eagle just because he took out thirteen troops from further than five hundred metres on one mission, Eagle was actually a shiny Pokemon which meant he had blue where it would of been green on a normal Gallade. Surprisingly he wasn't a sniper, I was just out for that mission and because Rain always liked to work in a pair, like most snipers, he needed someone to take my place so Eagle had a shot at it and was quite successful but, he preferred to be out in the front line, he was the infantry and finally we have the gorgeous Zoroark named Valerie Varietta yeah I knew her full name but im no pervert, nope we're in a relationship, so yeah hopefully it shall become Valerie Kenara. We called her V because she prefered it apparently and it was quicker to say, she only wanted to come so she could make sure I didn't die and well she started off without any knowledge but now, you would say she's a seasoned veteran.

The UACRF had not only constructed translators (although we didn't need them for our team) but had also made Pokemon friendly guns, this does not mean that if you shot a Pokemon it wouldn't die, no it meant that Pokemon could operate them so I, Eagle or V could now dual wield M9 Berettas, use a ACR assault rifles with a ACOG scope or use a silenced M110 or M200 sniper rifle and any other weapon if we wanted to. This made us Pokemon the most feared thing on the battlefield, not only could I Aura-Sphere a Light Armored Vehicle or LAV for short but I could also blow it up with a RPG if I wanted to, I could Metal Claw a enemy or I could shoot him in the head, what ever tickled my fancy really. We had custom made body armor, anything else we wanted could be made for us, although within reason of course we couldn't let Roze lose with a Nuclear missile could we. To be honest their was no reason for the 88th battalion mercenaries to retreat.
